The phone fell into a deep crater full of chilling cold water. The moment I realised this, I put my arm inside the pit to measure the depth and after ensuring that I was not diving into a watery grave, I jumped and fished out the phone from a depth of about 3 feet, in exactly 38 seconds, which I came to know from the recording later on!
I switched the device off almost immediately and made attempts to dry it up by wiping it. I checked in google if my phone was water-proof. No! It was not!
The next morning the phone got switched on by mistake and showed a glimpse that it might be alive and kicking, but I switched it off again immediately.
The internet was abound with all sorts of information and advice! The phone needed to be dry to avoid short circuits. So, people advised use of rice or silica as desiccant! I followed the advice and after 5 days, when I turned on my phone, it was working fine!
